MCQ
A unit scale is to be prepared whose length does not change with temperature and remains $20\,cm$, using a bimetallic strip made of brass and iron each of different length. The length of both components would change in such a way that difference between their lengths remains constant. If length of brass is $40\,cm$ and length of iron will be$...cm$

$\left(\alpha_{\text {iron }}=1.2 \times 10^{-5} K ^{-1}\right.$ and $\left.\alpha_{\text {brass }}=1.8 \times 10^{-5} K ^{-1}\right)$.

  • A
    $59$
  • B
    $6$
  • $60$
  • D
    $600$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$60$
c
$\ell_{ B }\left(1+\alpha_{ B } \Delta T \right)-\ell_{ i }\left(1+\alpha_{ i } \Delta T \right)=\ell_{ B }-\ell_{ i }$

$\alpha_{ B } \ell_{ B }=\ell_{ i } \alpha_{ i }$

$1.8 \times 10^{-5} \times 40=\ell_{ i } \times 1.2 \times 10^{-5}$

$\ell_{ i }=\frac{1.8 \times 10^{-5} \times 40}{1.2 \times 10^{-5}}=\frac{3 \times 40}{2}=60$ $\ell_{ i }=60\,cm$

The general motion of a rigid body can be considered to be a combination of $(i)$ a motioon --- centre of mass about an axis, and $(ii)$ its motion about an instantanneous axis passing through center of mass. These axes need not be stationary. Consider, for example, a thin uniform welded (rigidly fixed) horizontally at its rim to a massless stick, as shown in the figure. Where disc-stick system is rotated about the origin ona horizontal frictionless plane with angular sp--- $\omega$, the motion at any instant can be taken as a combination of $(i)$ a rotation of the centre of mass the disc about the $z$-axis, and $(ii)$ a rotation of the disc through an instantaneous vertical axis pass through its centre of mass (as is seen from the changed orientation of points $P$ and $Q$). Both the motions have the same angular speed $\omega$ in the case. $Image$  Now consider two similar systems as shown in the figure: case $(a)$ the disc with its face ver--- and parallel to $x - z$ plane; Case $(b)$ the disc with its face making an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with $x$-y plane its horizontal diameter parallel to $x$-axis. In both the cases, the disc is weleded at point $P$, and systems are rotated with constant angular speed $\omega$ about the $z$-axis.$Image$

$(A)$ It is vertical for both the cases $(a)$ and $(b)$.

$(B)$ It is verticle for case $(a)$; and is at $45^{\circ}$ to the $x-z$ plane and lies in the plane of the disc for case $(b)$

$(C)$ It is horizontal ofr case $(a)$; and is at $45^{\circ}$ to the $x - z$ plane and is normal to the plane of the disc for case $(b)$.

$(D)$ It is vertical of case $(a)$; and is at $45^{\circ}$ to the $x - z$ plane and is normal to the plane of the disc for case $(b)$.
